Trump Slams Bill Maher as 'Complete Loser' in 1,323-Word Rant

President Donald Trump has launched a blistering 1,323-word attack on comedian and political commentator Bill Maher, branding him a 'complete, total loser' and a 'sleazebag' in a Truth Social post ^[1]. The rant, published on October 25, 2026, follows Maher’s recent appearance on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, where former press secretary Karoline Leavitt discussed her time in the White House ^[2]. Trump claimed Maher used 'fake polls' to argue that he has the lowest approval rating of any midterm candidate ever, calling the claim a lie. He cited a CNN poll claiming he has 98–99% support among Republicans, calling it an 'all-time record high'.

Trump also claimed Maher invited himself to two White House dinners—March 31, 2025, and October 15, 2026—during which he allegedly appeared drunk and 'looked like hell' ^[1][2]. He said Maher had alcohol in hand while walking through the White House and criticized him for being a 'major pothead'. Trump claimed he was inundated with calls from Maher’s associate, Chuck LaBella, who allegedly wanted him to appear on the show 'desperately'—a request Trump said he refused.

The president accused Maher of relying on a 'laughter machine' and claimed the comedian is not funny, saying, 'People can’t think he’s funny' ^[1]. He also denied rumors that he plans to turn the White House Briefing Room into a swimming pool, saying he only wants to relocate the press for better space. Trump ended the post by declaring he will never watch Maher’s show again and vowed to have Republicans stop covering him ^[2].

One claim from Trump—about Maher having a bruised eye and nose area after being beaten up—has been reported by only one source and has not been confirmed ^[1].

Maher has not publicly responded, and representatives for him have not commented ^[2]. The claims about Maher’s health and behavior during the dinners are unverified ^[1].
